Fly models/Red Roo Ansett DC-9

Postby Capt NG » Sat Apr 26, 2014 12:39 pm

Did a bit more work this morning, hoping to have painted this weekend.. First time I've experienced a Fly model kit.. Pretty good detail, goes together well.

Next to it is a Minicraft 727... TAA Central Australian theme...

Noice, Stu. Got both the Ansett and TAA boxings in the stash, plus a handful of other airliner kits. Looking at yours and others here, I'm itching to give 'em a crack!
Pretending to do it TAC style with the big boys since 1987
Also, we don't need no steenkin' VLATs!

Damo get into it mate,

You digging my vibe Tony

Knotty, pretty good kit, I'm impressed with the detail, including the lightning conductor strips on the nose cone. The 727 is a bit hard work, the deep panel lines are a real pain and has seen me sand most of the arvo. The wings and horizontal stab on the 727 is too thick as well.

I know what you mean Stu , I've been filling most of my panel lines lately . In 1/144 scale I would think that panel lines would almost be non existent . This site has got me fired up to , really enjoying my modelling lately. ;) ;)
